What does the title mean...
You see, I was born and raised in Hawaii. While growing up, if you were born and raised there you were considered a local. Anyone who's from the "mainland" is considered a haole, which jmeans white. Even if you moved to Hawaii, you're still considered a haole. My mom teases me that I'm a haole and it really doesn't bother me, it's kind of funny.
I left Hawaii in December of 2001 and have been in the "states" ever since. Am I still a "local" in the terms of Hawaii or have I been labeled a "haole." Does it really matter, you might be thinking as you read this... Georgia is my home for me and my family, it will be for a very long time.
The farmer's tan secures your place in the haole line-up. But you're a Local Haole if that counts.
